Residents of Beaver Creek, Yukon, would drive two hours into Alaska for much of their shopping, so they've had to adapt

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.When the COVID-19 pandemic closed the Canada-U.S. border to non-essential travel, Donna Peter suddenly lost access to her nearest source of bulk groceries.

Beaver Creek holds the title of Canada’s most westerly community and – just 20 minutes from the border – it usually serves as a friendly stop for travellers to take a break along the Alaska Highway. In co-ordination with the Beaver Creek Community Club, they planned a five-hour trip to Whitehorse and collected shopping lists from residents, prohibiting only cigarettes and alcohol, she said.

“We really do see ourselves as one big community, and I think actually this situation we’re all in right now with COVID has actually made us stronger because we’re doing everything we can to help them, whether that be bringing fuel to the border, groceries to the border, any essentials they need,” McKay said.

Since then, she said residents on both sides of the border have formed a Stewart-Hyder COVID Action Committee petitioning both countries to allow locals to freely roam between the two communities.
